FOUNDATION/PHILANTHROPIC COLLEAGUES: There is a HUGE need for box trucks and hired movers. I am part of many many online groups that link people with extra furniture/household supplies with those who need them (new arrivals, re-entry population, those escaping DV, etc). The problem is that no one can pay for moving the things they want to donate to the people who need them. For once, there is a relatively simple solution that just requires some funding. AND, if done correctly, we can create some jobs for people who drive the truck and move the items. Please let me know how I can assist to get this off the ground.

Corporate Social Responsibility is Real. Companies are increasing becoming socially aware and encouraging employees to give back to the society in meaningful ways: 1. Matching donations made in cash, kind or even services. 2. Monthly stipends to donate to causes you care about. 3. For every hour you volunteer, your company pays an hourly rate that you can contribute to any organization you support. ... and many more. What's better: You can nominate your favorite NGO to register on company sponsored platforms like Benevity, Bright Funds etc. and receive these benefits. I’ve used these programs to support many education and religious causes, and it’s been incredibly fulfilling. Karma and punya are real. Let's make the most of these opportunities!

Why #opensource matters for #EV #charging? There are many good reasons for this. Many were mentioned at our conference "Open Source in #Emobility". There were also many lessons learned from starting an open source project and building a community. The most important take-aways: 🏅A long breath is needed, but pays off. 🏅Build something that is actually used by someone. 🏅Don’t forget to think about a working business model. 🏅Make it as easy as possible to join your community. And invest into it.     In our recent blog post, we outline some of the main learnings. https://lnkd.in/gVDT5hPf

Leaving something better than how you got it... that is our job! Our industry is focused on collecting assets and growing them... but forgetting the most important part of the mission... giving it back better than how we got it. There is an understanding that we are to collect and grow, but too many forget that our actual job is to give all of it (and more) back. Jason Cummings, AIF® and I talk with all of our clients about the important aspects of growth, but we spend more time talking about how best to give it back to you. Either through income, legacy, or charity we know that our job is to leave it better than how we got it! If that resonates more than what you are currently hearing from your team, reach out. We are here. #WeAreDifferent #GiveItBack

#ideas Y'all realised how we all have some kind of ideas in our head that can bring some change into the world but we don't have enough capital and skills importantly to execute those ideas So, there should be some app or website where people can share there ideas and people with money (especially those who don't know what to do with there money) can donate and help building, executing those ideas. Even I have some cool ideas that may sound good to others too, but Im still in the learning process of doing things that why I thought I should post it here. #ideasthatwork #ideasworthspreading #ideasintoaction #ideastoreality #ideasmatter

THE COST OF INACTION 😱 When folks are considering dynamic pricing, there comes a critical moment of decision... Do they move forward or keep the status quo? The price of moving forward is often quantified as risk. What if patrons are mad? 😡 What if it doesn't work? 🤡 We've talked about those fears in previous posts. But what is often not really thought about is the price tag of not moving forward. Because if you start utilizing dynamic pricing, you're going to change the outcome. You'll be making more revenue. 💵 💶 💷 And that revenue won't just go into a bank account, it will be used. Because you are a non-profit and more money will always find a purpose. For better productions, or programs for community outreach, or more people. or, I don't know, raises. 😍 So the real question to ask is: What does your org look like if you DON'T have these funds? 🤔
